The Committee noted that the correspondence from the Welsh Government doesn’t address the call for there to be a duty to notify individuals of their right to access their files once they turn 18. The Committee agreed to write back to the Minister to ask how the Welsh Government can ensure each young person is informed of this right and what can be done to raise awareness.
